brilliant logo

I love a good logo design that's unique, thoughtful, maintains strong design principles and cleverly hints at the company's essence. When checking out Chris Botti's schedule at Blue Note jazz club in New York—where he's been the resident artist for the past 16 years—I came upon this cool logo for Blue Note records. When one thinks of jazz, the era of Coltrane, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, and Stan Getz come to mind. This logo in two simple shapes, along with the type of that time, embodies a jazz essence. I love it. Couple this with the genius website: bluenote.com and Bravo! to the designer of this mark.
